The Primordial Law

Chapter 481 Swastika Mark
"boom!"

Li Weiyi plummeted down the waterfall, crashing into the riverbed hundreds of feet below. Even with his powerful physique, his vision blurred, and his internal injuries worsened.

Previously, in order to eliminate Qiongji Daozi, he was unable to escape Hongling.

He quickly mobilized the liquid magic power within his Shenque acupoint and circulated his twelve meridians to protect his injuries.

He dragged his weary, aching, and heavy body out of the riverbed, using his peach wood staff for support. Looking up, he saw that the rocky dome, hundreds of feet high, had completely closed off, and no more seawater was falling.

The deafening roar of the rushing water subsided, and the world became dark and quiet. Only the lava river flowing below the cliff in the distance shone with a golden glow and brought heat.

A sense of oppression and gloom, as if the sun would never rise again, arose spontaneously.

Li Weiyi was deeply worried, as if he had fallen into the Arctic and would never be able to return. Yu'er, Yaoyin, Zuoqiu Hongting, Yinjun, and others were probably also concerned for his safety.

In Lingxiao Realm, he already had many attachments.

The seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Kings flapped their wings and membranous wings, their bodies radiating multicolored light and overflowing with golden crow flames. They were full of vigor and strength, with bright eyes, unlike Li Weiyi who was injured and had greatly depleted his magical energy.

"Bang bang!"

The Heavenly Sword and the Dao Fruit of the Qiongji Daozi were carelessly tossed onto the ground at Li Weiyi's feet.

They surrounded Qiongji Daozi's boundary bag, which the Great Phoenix opened with its claws, dumping the contents outwards. With a whoosh, countless treasures—Spring Coins, Blood Crystals, magical artifacts, the carriage frame of the departed—piled up into a small mountain.

There were jade boxes and caskets, which were pried open by the sharp claws of the phoenix, and immediately a thick fragrance of medicine wafted out.

Several of the ancient medicinal herbs, imbued with great spirituality, were not sealed. Their leaves transformed into wings as they tried to escape. However, they were swooped down by seven phoenix-winged moth queens, who pinned them to their feet and devoured them.

Despite his exhaustion, Li Weiyi climbed to the highest point nearby to observe the surrounding environment and search for the source of the dragon's roar, his mind constantly on edge.

Just a sound was enough to traumatize him.

Such a terrifying creature, lurking nearby and now completely lifeless, is truly unsettling, making one feel like every bush and tree is a potential enemy.

Li Wei's best chance of escape is to use the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish to flee to Tanggu Sea, which could be a last resort. However, this place is strange, and whether he can activate the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish and enter the Blood Mud Space is unknown.

Without immediately activating it, he sensed the presence of the woman from Inamiya.

Look across the river.

Then, the woman from the Inamiya emerged from the water, her body wrapped in red silk that covered her hips and chest. Her long hair was wet, and her skin was as striking as luminous white jade. Her legs and arms were exposed, long and slender.

They are seven or eight miles apart, which is quite far.

But you can clearly see the lines of her back, so alluring and beautiful, as if she had just gotten out of the bath.

As the seawater above recedes, the river between the two is drying up.

The water flows towards the unknown, dark depths.

Wu Hongling sensed Li Weiyi's distant gaze and the killing intent in his eyes, so she turned around and looked at him with her grayish-blue, skeletal face: "Young Master of the North, Hidden God of the South. This is the phrase I hear most often when I come to the East Sea."

“I didn’t take it to heart at first, but after today’s battle, my opinion has completely changed. You, the Hidden Man of Jiuli, are quite capable. You can make a name for yourself even in the Hundred Realms of Life.”

"And Tang Wanzhou is by no means inferior to the true disciples of the major ancient sects and the emperors' disciples of the major imperial courts and kingdoms."

"Let's call a truce for now! If we alert that terrifying creature, we'll all die."

Clearly, Wu Hongling believed that Li Weiyi's cultivation had reached the level of a nine-star Spiritual Master, and his martial arts had reached the peak of the Dao Seed Realm. Therefore, in her view, Li Weiyi was at the level of a treacherous individual, while Tang Wanzhou was the one who had truly reached the pinnacle.

It's not surprising that she had such thoughts, since her understanding of the Nine Li Hidden People was limited to what she had only heard of.

Moreover, her level of malice was not only not low, but very high; she did not underestimate Li Weiyi.

Wu Hongling waved her hand, summoning ten bluish-gray bone spirits that lined up in front of her to guard her. Then, she sat cross-legged on a boulder as hard as black iron, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

She spread her hands, which were resting on her soft, jade-like legs, and pinched a top-grade blood crystal in each hand.

Ten skeletal spirits, some humanoid and others skeletal beasts, stood guard. Their eye sockets burned with ghostly flames, and scriptures flickered on their bodies, as they watched Li Weiyi on the opposite bank.

"I wonder what position this demoness holds in the Rice Palace. She's far more dangerous than Huoxin. She's protected by ten spirit commanders, and the seven little ones might not be able to break through quickly. Let's heal our wounds and restore our magical energy first."

What Li Weiyi feared most was the dragon's roar just now. So, he took out the Thousand Character Cloak given to him by Tang Wanzhou, tied it around his body, and then used the Jade Void Breathing Technique.

The Dharma energy converged on him, forming a vortex.

The spiritual energy here is completely different from that of the outside world; it is thick and pure, even surpassing that of the Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain. It is like the complete opposite of the spiritual energy-sparse Netherworld of the Dead.

Strangely enough.

Despite being in such a sacred cultivation realm, not a single blade of grass grows, no precious herbs or medicinal plants emerge, and there is no sign of life whatsoever.

The dragon's roar did not sound again, nor did any dragon-shaped creature appear.

Qiongji Daozi had reaped enormous rewards in the past few months of war against the Southeast Netherworld, possessing dozens of thousand-year-old refined herbs in his realm bag. The seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Kings feasted voraciously, their bellies bulging, their breath carrying the fragrant aroma of these herbs, creating a rosy haze. An hour later.

Li Weiyi's injuries, inflicted by Huo Xin, Qiongji Daozi, and Wu Hongling, have recovered to about 60-70%. His Shenque, Zutian, Fengfu, and Wuhai meridians are all brimming with magical energy, and his entire body is brimming with power.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

The river ahead had vanished without a trace.

After being impacted by seawater that spans tens of miles, the ground caved in for tens of meters, revealing giant skeletons, some of which were exposed. Although the visual impact was strong, it could not possibly be the remains of an ancient immortal or an emperor; it lacked the lingering power of death that struck directly at the soul.

A red figure, her gauze flowing, walked on the skeleton, only two or three miles away from Li Weiyi. Ten bluish-gray bone spirit commanders lined up behind her, each exuding an imposing aura.

The red ribbon on the Inamiya demoness's body was not an ordinary magic weapon; Li Weiyi had already entered its attack range.

Li Weiyi suddenly stood up, holding a peach wood staff in one hand and the Purple Heaven Thunder Seal in the other, secretly activating it, and lightning appeared on his body.

At the same time, he drew array patterns in his mind's eyebrow and entered his strongest battle state.

He transmitted his voice to the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Queens: "Get up, prepare for battle."

Li Weiyi did not want to engage in a decisive battle with Wu Hongling right now, and wanted to buy time to cultivate the third level of the Six Like Burning Karma. So he said, "If Fairy Hongling wants to fight, I, Liu, will definitely accompany her to the end. However, the commotion caused by this battle may alert the creature that made the dragon's roar. I think it's better to be more rational."

The title "Red Silk Fairy" was heard from Qiongji Daozi.

"Liu? Even now, you still won't admit you're the Hidden Man of Jiuli?"

Wu Hongling smiled and said, "Don't worry, to me, the death of Qiongji Daozi is no different than the death of a stray dog ​​on the roadside. As for his malice, I have no relationship with him; on the contrary, we are more competitors. So, I wouldn't risk everything to kill you for their sake."

"This place is no ordinary place; it is very likely a lost ancient immortal realm. The natural energy of heaven and earth contains a wisp of immortal energy, which can be called holy energy. We could be trapped here for a lifetime. If I kill you, how lonely would I be? Loneliness is more terrifying than death."

How could Li Weiyi dare to believe a single word she said?
How could someone have chased him for over two thousand miles without a strong desire to kill?
Li Weiyi said, "The lost ancient immortal realm! If this news is reported back to Daogong, you should be able to obtain an extraordinary reward, right?"

In the entire southern part of Yingzhou, there are no more than ten ancient immortal realms, almost all of which are the locations of ancient religions and imperial courts.

When Wu Hongling reached within a hundred feet, she saw Li Weiyi release array runes, so she stopped and said, "Whether we can get out is still uncertain."

“With your cultivation level, you could dig through even a ten-thousand-foot-deep earth,” Li Weiyi said.

She said, "You're too optimistic! Such a treasure land as the Ancient Immortal Sacred Realm is unknown to everyone. Do you know what that means? It means that it is isolated from the world, and it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to enter or leave."

Instead of waiting to die, the two decided to find a way out.

Li Weiyi dispatched Da Feng, while Wu Hongling dispatched the strongest Bone Spirit Commander.

They climbed the rock walls, heading towards the dome hundreds of feet high, to dig through the mud and rocks.

Seeing that she couldn't find any flaws in Li Weiyi's body and was also very wary of the unknown dragon's roar, Wu Hongling turned and flew away to study the stone wall above the lava river.

She had previously discovered something strange and wanted to confirm it again.

Li Weiyi became interested in the giant skeleton at the bottom of the riverbed, flew over and examined it closely: "The exposed part is over a hundred meters long. What kind of creature left this behind?"

Li Weiyi tapped with his fingers and then drew his Heavenly Sword to slash.

It's not made of gold; no gold essence or bone marrow was found inside.

He immediately lost interest, glanced at the red shadow on the distant stone wall, and secretly traced puppetry scriptures on the giant skeleton with his fingers. Using spiritual light, he wrote the ancient character "Lin" and buried the Dao Fruit of Qiongji Daozi inside the skeleton.

Wu Hongling stood below a stone wall engraved with ancient pictures and texts.

On the stone wall is carved a humanoid creature with two heads, one old and one young, located where the hands would have been. A swastika symbol floats above the neck.

So much time has passed that the pattern has become very blurry.

She stared at the swastika symbol for a moment, and suddenly, the world spun around her, her consciousness was about to be shattered, and she almost fell into the lava river below. She quickly forced herself to look away, her heart filled with inexplicable horror.

How could such a shallow mark possess such power?
Wu Hongling narrowed her eyes, a plan forming in her mind.

"Wow!"

Trailing a long red ribbon, she flew back to the riverbank opposite the stone wall: "Stop setting up puppet magic! Such a gigantic skeleton consumes a lot of mental energy. Besides, at my speed, it can't do anything to me."

Li Weiyi showed no embarrassment at the exposure of his scheme: "I'm using this to deal with unknown dangers! We must not harbor any disloyalty, put aside our grudges, and deal with everything after we escape. I also hope that Fairy Hongling will be as sincere as I am, otherwise, it's too tiring to always be on guard against each other."

Wu Hongling nodded slightly: "You are very strong, and you also have the help of the strange insects. To kill you, I would definitely have to pay a heavy price. Forget it, forget it, let's stop here."

She sat on the ground, her left leg stretched out straight and her right leg propped up. From the jade bracelet on her wrist, she took out a bronze pot and poured out golden essence marrow, sipping it as if it were wine: "Would you like to try a sip?"

Li Weiyi shook his head slightly and asked indirectly, "Your treacherous intentions are hidden in your Inamori Palace, yet you are so neglected! I just wanted to spar with him, thinking that he had protective treasures and wouldn't be in any danger, but I didn't expect... sigh, I didn't mean to."
